Lloyd Cole - My Bag Lyrics






Hey I was walking my bag
Through a 20 story non-stop snow storm
Pirrelli calendar girls wrestling in body lotion
My head's swimming with poetry and prose
Excuse me one moment whilst I powder my nose
Me and my good thing are just about as close as can be
We gave up sleep at the age of 17
My world's getting bigger as my eyesight gets worse
I can't see the lines on my idiot board
What above love?
I don't let that stuff in my house
This is the glamorous life there's no time for fooling around

Lord have mercy I know what I'm doing
I don't need an alibi I need a fire escape and an open window
It's my problem it's nothing I can't deal with
I'm not chasing anything just jogging baby
What's your bag?

Hundred million dollar jam
Got some traffic yessir in my nose
Motorcycle speed cops burning up my dust roads
My baby left me heck ain't that a shame
She's over in the corner with my new best friend
I'm doing fine with my whisky and wine
And meet me in the john, John, meet me in the john, John

Lord have mercy I know what I'm doing
I don't need an alibi I need a fire escape and an open window
It's my problem it's nothing I can't deal with
I'm not chasing anything just jogging baby
What's your bag?

Spin spin whisky and gin I suffer for my art
Bartender I got wild mushrooms growing in my yard
Fix me a quart of petrol clams on the half shell
Feels like prohibition baby give me the hard sell
More give me more give me more more more
I'm your yes man yes ma'am I'm your yes man

Lord have mercy I know what I'm doing
I don't need an alibi I need a fire escape and an open window
It's my problem it's nothing I can't deal with
I'm not chasing anything just jogging baby

    Jangly guuitars never sounded so good.

  7. G.... ....

  8. s.... ....

    Phenomenal song.

  9. h.... ....

    Like quien la escuche en 2019, canciones de nuestra época de adolescencia

  10. L.... N....

    Ainda ouvindo 2019

  11. s.... 1....

    He's not Scottish originally from London. Also it took me ages to find out this about a bag of cocaine and not a travel bag
    None the less ths is a classic track and the guitar jangles in all the right places.

    s.... 1....

    He's from Buxton, Derbyshire originally!

  12. j.... a....

    Lloyd, girls are ready to be heartbroken

  13. s.... 1....

    Fave Lloyd song bought Mainstream back in 1987.

  14. c.... ....

    If you think this single version is great try the 12" extended single!

  15. k.... c....

    Always loved this tune....it’s so odd.

  16. K.... H....

    Great track.

  17. R.... E....

    One of the best from Lloyd...timeless!

    Lloys is so great!

  22. C.... L....

    What about love?

  23. E.... W....

    Great music, so underrared.

  24. J.... D....

    Super..

  25. M.... G....

    For me, that's like a brilliant rap inside a beautiful pop song. A smart hip hop singer would make a good number if he covered it

  26. D.... E....

    The BASS is sharp. Lyrical Lloyd as usual in fine form. Grossly under rated talent.

  27. B.... B....

    Ahhh The 80's I can't believe I made it....Excuse me one moment whilst I powder my nose.....And meet me in the john, John, meet me in the john, John......Hundred million dollar jam.....Got some traffic yessir in my nose.

  28. T.... K....

    Sounds that was valuable on the market no one else spoke of I suppose. New England record where Brandon never found his balloon.

  29. m.... h....

    God is Lloyd effin cute or what!😍😍😍

  30. m.... h....

    God Lloyd is soooo effin CUTE😍😍😍

  31. K.... L....

    2:00-2:17 IS UNBELIEVABLE!

  32. P.... F....

    meti muito este som

    P.... F....

    E muito bem metido. Isto é ouro puro.

  33. E.... W....

    Long gone Lloyd Cole - their star burned brightly in the 80s; this is a superb example of their art.

  34. n.... ....

    I don't need an alibi, I need a fire escape and an open window

  35. l.... ....

    love the first album soundtrack to my life

  36. K.... G....

    Brilliant, underrated song. One of those that unjustly never gets played on the radio.
    Lloyd looks a bit like a young Elvis crossed with Jimmy Carr in the video IMO.

  37. G.... R....

    Loved it from the first stanza.

  38. J.... S....

    Best song ever!

  39. I.... T....

    The best

  40. p.... c....

  57. C.... D....

    Hey I was walking my bag

    C.... D....

    thanks lady.

    C.... D....

  58. I.... T....

    The absolute top of the eighties and far beyond.

    I.... T....

    YEP...this song still kicks ass

  59. R.... R....

    Saw him last night at Newcastle. Still wonderful!

    R.... R....

    rofel marante hai beautiful

  60. C.... C....

    al puro estilo Stock 101

  61. n.... ....

    Shame the box set doesn't include all the 12" mixes and single edits.

  62. f.... ....

    He's still got it too. Most consistent member of my record collection.

  63. l.... m....

    Good times nice girls cheers lloyd Cole

  64. F.... F....

    Bought 12" vinyl of this back in 1987. Promptly bought Mainstream album. Great track.

  65. R.... W....

    incredible songwriting, three of the best albums of that decade, if not all time

    R.... W....

    +Richard Weir it's pretty clear that today's songwriters lack the class of Lloyd Cole and Morrissey.

    R.... W....

    +Matt Gibbs omg you are so right. I include Jeff Buckley to that list

  66. e.... g....

    Best alternative pop-rock music of the all times

  67. M.... ....

    memories from the 80s- BEST decade yup 100%

    M.... ....

    Yep. Sorry kids you missed it.
